  1. “Satire is, by definition, offensive. It is meant to make us feel uncomfortable. It is meant to make us scratch our heads, think, do a double-take, and then think again.” Maajid Nawaz
    In the polarized politics of our country, I am bound to be divisive if I satirize FOX and Trump or Biden and MSNBC. Yes, I am partisan, but take a look at how FOX leaps upon every gaffe, senior moment, and stutter Biden makes and my caricature of its coverage will be funny if you support Biden or watch MSNBC. Or to put it another way, what different people find funny or “insulting” is subjective.

    Jerry Markus sent this letter: “Although this was a satire I thought it was in poor taste to include it in the SDJW. I submit that any article that furthers the divide within our community should be covered with a significant denunciation. This one was particularly divisive as it will be taken by many to be real just at the now famous non-quote “I can see Russia from my house.” Respectfully, Jerry Markus
